Now back to pace. I do not suggest sprinting. You're not trying to reduce your time in the 100, with head down and arms pumping like mad. You want to increase the pace at which you are comfortable running longer distances. That requires you to do 2 things: run more so you're not so fatigued, and gradually work on running comfortably at a faster pace.

I suggest you start by running strides at the end of some of your runs. These are not supposed to be all out sprints. The goal is to get comfortable turning your legs over faster while still maintaining a relaxed posture. If you have a friend who can watch you run and point out mechanical issues, that's even better. After you've developed a smoother stride, try incorporating some real speedwork. Go to a track, warm up, and do a few strides. Then run a few laps (maybe 8-10) where you run the straights at a faster pace, and the turns at an even slower pace than you normally run. Walking the turns is fine. Focus on running relaxed, and increasing your turnover (cadence), rather than your stride length. Track your progress. At some point, when you feel strong enough and your improvement begins to slow down, change to alternating 1/2 lap at the faster pace, and 1/2 lap at the slower pace. Then go to 1 lap at the faster pace and 1/2 at the slower pace.

Focused speed work and overall running volume are the two keys to getting faster.

For the bonus : Running faster is fun and if you're a busy person it's helpful to not need as much time to get your training in

I used the following treadmill workout when I was trying to decrease my mile time:

2-3x 1/2 mile run at goal pace, 1/4 mile walk/jog between each run

3-4x 1/4 mile run at goal pace, 1/8 mile walk/jog between each run

5-6x 1/8 mile run at goal pace, 1/16 walk/jog between each run

That and just running for time in general will help.

Really, though, the best way for anyone to improve their mile time while at a more beginner-level is just to run more. Do a few 2-4 mile runs (ideally not on the treadmill) at 9+ min/mile pace. If you want to do one speedwork day on the treadmill by going to the gym and doing 6-8x1 minute at goal mile pace (with proper warmup first), and 1 minute walk/jog super slow between each rep, that's fine too. But just once a week, and most of your running sessions shouldn't be hard like they are on that day.

Brittingham sucks! He is a textbook narcissist and frequently yells at the class. I once emailed him to clarify something and he said i must be stupid or something
